Purple Haze is a song by Jimi Hendrix, about drug use and psychedelia. It is noted both for its opening guitar riff and the tendency of people to misquote the line "'Scuse me while I kiss the sky" as "'Scuse me while I kiss this guy".

It took fourth place in the Battle of the 60s Rock Songs

Lyrics

Purple Haze was in my brain,
lately things don't seem the same,
actin' funny but I don't know why
'scuse me while I kiss the sky.

Purple Haze all around,
don't know if I'm coming up or down.
Am I happy or in misery?
Whatever it is, that girl put a spell on me.

Purple Haze was in my eyes,
don't know if it's day or night,
you've got me blowing, blowing my mind
is it tomorrow or just the end of time?
